Methods for minimizing an error condition with separately generated secret keys based upon one or more shared characteristics and devices thereof

Abstract

A method, non-transitory computer readable medium and device that minimize error conditions with substantially simultaneously and independently generated secret keys includes synchronizing with a mobile device configured to execute a corresponding key generation process. Data obtained based on at least one shared characteristic with the synchronized mobile device is converted into a plurality of binary numbers. At least one bit for each of the plurality of binary numbers which are at least measurably random is identified. An error condition with any of the determined bits for the plurality of binary numbers is identified. At least a portion of the determined bits for the plurality of binary numbers without the detected error condition are selected. A key is generated based on the selected determined bits for the plurality of binary numbers for use in securing communications with the synchronized mobile device.
